New innovations, concepts and theories in education that may have significant impact in improving performance outcomes. It is no less important to know who some of the people who are impacting change in educational learning theories and paradigms while they come into focus. Education is by an large a fractionated, complex, and misunderstood process that is not dominated by central theories or ways of doing things. Thus there are more options and theories on teaching and learning and educational suppliers have embraced this organizational chaos to sell more and more goods and services to this sector. School leaders thus have more than a simple task to embrace and adopt relevant solutions for their schools, or districts in order to improve outcomes. As technology continues to be web driven the push to integrate new solution and the research behind them becomes blurred with meaning and thus the pressure on school adoption increases.
